Food Pantry Volunteer

Food Pantry Volunteer

Project READ is a free, volunteer-based literacy program serving adults, children and families. Our intergenerational programs are designed to break the cycle of illiteracy by surrounding adults, youth and families with literacy services that promote education and a lifelong love of learning.

In collaboration with Second Harvest Silicon Valley, Project READ provides food assistance to hundreds of our families each week from our food pantry. In addition to providing fresh produce, dry goods, refrigerated items and household staples, we offer food nutrition education and literacy activities for children and adults.
